Q: AA is there someone available?
Non-AA members please don't respond. I'm kind of hot tempered and will rip u a new one. Closed meeting by email is preferred.
I'm not a member but I did come across an online AA meeting room that seemed a good one. Don't have a link for it but there's always the option of hunting down one of those. Not many other options in China, unless you're in one of the more metropolitan cities. Good luck with it.
Really dude? Oh, so much help, so overwhelming joy, oh such compassion and non-righteous behavior. Can I give you a blow job? You deserve a blow job, really. But my mustache and goutee probably would scratch your old withered frail cock. Have you ever come across a guy who has been shot at, spit upon, disgraced, shown naked, proven wrong, publically beaten, not have had a place to live, offered multiple forms of sex acts for money, et? Have you ever? Really? Do you know the life of a person that suffers from drinking? Have you ever read the good book? Do you know that even the most prominent and influential people in this world suffer from this diesase. And yes it is a disease with links to 120 strands of DNA. Your mother, your uncle, your grandfather, your child all suffer from it.
mArtiAn:
I am an alcoholic thanks, i'm just not a member. And yeh, you need to find a meeting.
MissA:
Chaching, you normally present as one of the most stable inhabitants of the main page. Account hacked?
mArtiAn:
Nope, brain hacked. No offense intended Chaching, but I DO know, booze can lead the most decent of men VERY far astray. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was not a fairytale. Seriously, good luck with it. The booze is not in charge.
giadrosich:
Either that or a server bi-polar/tourette syndrome type thing kickin' in. And yeah, you can rip me a new one. It'll just let in more fresh air. But seriously, get some help with that. I know what you're going through, and it ain't never easy.
What's wrong with this psycho?!!!!!.........How pathetic is he............Drinking is made for enjoyment not to turn it into a trajedy......just quit drinking and get something else to take your time and your hand of the bottle....................I wish i can see you in a better situation next comment you spit out of your mouth
Xpat.John:
CT, you honestly haven't a clue about what you are talking about. Honestly, if you can't help with serious situations, keep your mouth shut (and your hands off the keyboard).
Mr_spoon:
The whole "addiction can be stopped by just quitting" tells us a lot about his mental age.
I don't know where you are located, but here are a few links that may get you to where you want to go:

Best of luck. Stay strong.
Chaching:
Thx John. Guess these other idiots haven't ever met an alchy. For your information you other stupid bitches, alcoholism is considered a disease. Like diabetics. Guess there's still a level of ignorance and social stigma despite all the education in this world. John, thx really. I called my family and they advised me to reach out to find someone here in China. Unfotunately, it just doesn't exist. No mercy in China. I officially kneel, and will probably be going home to find more support. Luckily I didn't kill anybody. Sorry for being such a selfish bastard.
Don't know about AA, but I do know you could try this :- Go see a doctor, get a prescription for 30 x Chlordiazepoxide 25mg tabs , take 1 four times a day for the first 2 days, 1 three times a day for 2 days, 1 twice a day for 3 days and then 1 a day till you run out. By then you should be over the physical craving. Then find somebody professional to talk to. Good luck, be strong.
People, being an alcoholic is not a matter of "being strong". If it were, we would have very few alcoholics in the world. It is indeed a disease, where one simply does not have the ability to have just one d rink, or even one sip. Once you take that sip, you NEED another and another. Rule of thumb, a drop is too much and a huge vat is never enough.
Places like AA give the mutual support that they need so as to not take that drink. They work on a day to day basis. They cannot say "I will never again taste a drop of booze." The instead focus on "I wont drink today."
Now different people react to alcholol in idfferent ways. Some "mellow out" some get sad and weepy, some become belligerent. The bottom line is that alcoholics are powerless when it comes to alcohol. Many see it as a weakness of moral character or a lack of self control. Unless you are an alcoholic or live closely with one, it is something the rest of us will never understand, so cut him a break!
mArtiAn:
Can't agree with you about being powerless to alcohol. I believe alcohol is first and foremost a symptom of a deeper pain that the drinker chooses to anaeshetise himself from with drink. My father was a serious alcoholic for about 20 years and has now been dry for about 25. His words to me as an alcoholic myself were that I will never stop drinking until I find myself on my knees begging for help. He himself reached this point only after losing his family, his business and all his friends. It wasn't any medicine or magic that freed him of his addiction, it was reaching a point where life with alcohol was more painful than life without it, and from this realization finding the will to live without it. My point is that if the ability to change his life was with him at that time, it had always been with him. An alcoholic needs to take on board all the pain of those who suffer with him and not turn away from it or relinquish himself of it, but to own the responsibility of his addiction, as this will take him closer to the dreadful rock bottom he so sorely needs in order to find the will to break free.
mArtiAn:
It's an incredibly dangerous mistake to make. Most make it at some time and yes, it can easily take you right back to square one.
